[yt-users] plots with ipython

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Astrid,

You can turn on interactive matplotlib plotting using the
"yt.toggle_interactivity()" funciton. Note that this is a new, experimental
feature so it's possible there will be issues. This is not turned on by
default because yt is very commonly used over a headless SSH connection to
a cluster where using matplotlib's interactive backends would lead to
errors.

More details about this in the docs:
